Bicycling

Riding a bike together is a typical thing to do for couples on a date (often along the Han River) or when on vacation.

You will see some people riding the same bike (with the woman on the “backseat”) – sometimes a preferred thing to do because it allows for “skinship.” Other people prefer to ride tandem bikes and others, again, ride each on their own bike. To show their joy in riding a bike and being with the other person, people on a tandem bike will often stretch out their arms while laughing happily.

But a quite fair amount of people in K-Dramaland doesn’t know how to ride a bike. So you’ll often see an adult (often a man) teaching another adult (often a woman) how to do so.
